### 1/5 — The app won’t work

*2024-01-13*

I’ve scanned hundreds of $30 and $50 second chance tickets on this app and suddenly it doesn’t work at all anymore ! It shows a 1990s dial up loading symbol ! I have t been able to check the status or upload tickets for months on end! Someone needs to be held accountable what happens to all the tickets I already enters that can no longer be accessed? I guess I can say I’m not surprised a government run app is the only one I ever seen just stop working !!! This is why we the people lost all faith in government and you useless bureaucrats!!!

### 1/5 — Won’t load on new phone

*2023-12-11*

Had a MotoZ (1,3,4) over the years and this app worked well. Download app on new IPhone 15pro and I can’t even try to log in. App closes about ten seconds after trying to open

### 1/5 — App won’t work anymore.

*2023-11-26*

Been using the app for years but now when I tried opening the app, the wheel spins and won’t load. Uninstalled and reinstalled it and now it opens to a title page but there are no options to do anything.

### 2/5 — Why is the app not working?

*2023-11-17*

I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and I have been using this app for a long time. Now all the sudden it won’t work at all. I e deleted it. Redownloaded it. I’ve waited thinking it’s being worked on… but nothing. It stopped working for me. Anyone else having issues with this app?

### 2/5 — Tickets won’t scan with iPhone 14

*2023-07-18*

I’ve never had an issue with the app til I bought an iPhone 14 the tickets  wont scan I’ve contacted the lottery, been given a number for second chance  and even contacted the app developer for over a year still won’t work with this model phone . I’ve been entering the tickets manually . It’s funny cause the tickets  scan on the other mass lotto app

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2023-04-22*

My experience hasn’t been too bad. My scanner works (iphone12) , but I’ve been trying to find out how people get notified if they win? I’ve been looking but can’t seem to find the answer.

### 2/5 — Needs Update

*2023-04-08*

App hasn’t been updated since the cameras have gotten more sophisticated. Cannot take a picture of second chance barcodes with newer phones auto focus does not work in app.

### 1/5 — Can’t scan barcodes

*2023-03-20*

App not staying up to date with newer phones and tickets. Can’t scan anymore, need to manually enter all codes. Maybe this is how to reduce the amount of 2nd chance entries.

### 1/5 — Can’t scan from new iPhone please update

*2023-03-16*

Can no longer scan 2nd chance since I upgraded to iPhone 14pro. Please update this app to be compatible with newer phones with better cameras. Usless app at this point.
Why don’t you respond to this app showing us a fix if you won’t update? Turning Macros on doesn’t fix issue.

### 2/5 — iPhone 14 still not working

*2023-03-10*

This app was ok until I got the iphone 14 pro max. 
Now it will not scan because it selects the wrong camera or it has no control to select it. Just guessing the lens it selects focuses to far away.
